Cry About It Later Lyrics

[Intro]
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight, I'm havin' fun
Tonight, I'm havin' fun
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm gettin' some
Tonight I'm gettin' something brand new

[Verse 1]
I know tomorrow, I'll be love hungover
But I'm ready for a shameless summer
Champagne on ice only makes you stronger

[Pre-Chorus]
Pourin' it, pourin' it, pourin' it nonstop (Ah)
Drinkin' it, drinkin' it, drinkin' it all up (Ah)
Body to body, I almost forgot
You're not him, you're not her

[Verse 2]
I think I'm ready to be someone's new muse
I think I'm ready for a brand new tattoo (Give me it)
I'm gonna fake it 'til it makes me feel good

[Pre-Chorus]
Pourin' it, pourin' it, pourin' it nonstop (One more; ah, ooh)
Drinkin' it, drinkin' it, drinkin' it all up (Ah, ooh)
Body to body, I almost forgot
You're not him, you're not her, yeah

[Chorus]
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight, I'm havin' fun
Tonight, I'm havin' fun
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm gettin' some
Tonight I'm gettin' some
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight, I'm havin' fun
Tonight, I'm havin' fun
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm gettin' some
Tonight I'm gettin' something brand new

[Bridge]
Ooh
I know tomorrow, I'll be love hungover (Ooh)
And it's half past three (Past three)
And I got angel wings (Wings)
But a devil's grin
And only one can win
No, no, no, no

[Chorus]
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight, I'm havin' fun
Tonight, I'm havin' fun
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm gettin' some
Tonight I'm gettin' some (Ooh, ooh)
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight, I'm havin' fun
Tonight, I'm havin' fun (Ooh, I'll cry about it later)
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm gettin' some
Tonight I'm gettin' something brand new

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
